Chocolate mousse is my favorite dessert - when it's made with real, quality ingredients like you have here. My children prefer chocolate pots, which are basically the same but not fluffy and are cooked slowly in a bain-marie. Thanks, Janet!

I knew I liked this day for some reason. The recipe sounds wonderful, I'll have to give it a try.
